DESCRIPTION:The subject talk aims to present the complex nature of the huma
 n body's largest organ (skin) in terms of its dielectric properties. Skin 
 is the primary barrier to the external environment and protects vital orga
 ns from harmful organisms. Any malignancy damaging this first line of defe
 nce would require an urgent clinical response. Therefore\, as a pre-requis
 ite towards building an electromagnetic skin cancer detection system\, it 
 is necessary to understand the dielectric nature of healthy skin and its v
 ariation across multiple body regions. The talk will discuss the statistic
 al relationship between the dielectric properties of measured dermal regio
 ns and various bio-features\, such as skin pigmentation\, body weight and 
 gender\, observed across 50 healthy volunteers. The observations are aimed
  at assisting the development of an electromagnetic skin cancer detection 
 system by identifying the causes of dielectric variations across different
  dermal measurement conditions. The interactive session will also address 
 the measurement challenges and proper characterization procedures of this 
 heterogeneous biological tissue in the clinical environment.\n\nSpeaker(s)
